Bruised Butterflies
December 25, 2012
One two three.
Three little butterflies surrounding me.
Four five six.
Six little butterflies surrounding me.
Seven eight nine.
Nine little butterflies surrounding me.
They fly.
They flutter.
They watch me weep and shutter.
They know my pain,
and now sooner than later,
they start to fall to the ground.
Those who choose fly away.
Nine. Eight. Seven.
Six little butterflies surrounding me.
Six. Five. Four.
Three little butterflies leaving me.
Three. Two. One.
Broken butterflies lay.
